equipment success is only ensured with proper instructions and
information. This is were we are leaps and bounds above our
competition. We know hydroponics, we know what we sell, we know
what others sell, and most of all we will know what you need.
The good new is we do not base it on price but on project.

We Have It All

No matter what you need when it
comes to Hydroponic Gardening, we have it all. So
whether it be hydroponic systems, nutrients, growing media or
just information you be assured of getting from us. Most
importantly, you will always get correct information and just
what you need.

Indentifying Plant DiseasesHydroponic gardening's popularity has grown
in leaps and bounds in recent years, especially in North America.

Plant diseases or blights
in a hydroponics garden are much less frequent than in a dirt garden
because there is no dirt to grow bacteria. Not to mention the
fact that many plant diseases travel to the plant from the
surrounding soil. Plant disease cannot occur without a host plant,
a pathogen, and favorable environmental conditions.

Plants can be more susceptible to disease if weakened by
environmental conditions such as too much shade, high humidity and
crowded conditions. They are also more susceptible when weakened by
nutrient deficiency or toxicity (too many nutrients) and poor pH.

There will always be some trouble with disease, just watch for it
and take care of it immediately. Unfortunately, many disease cures
involve the use of harsh chemicals which you really do not want on
your plants. A hydroponics garden can easily collect such chemicals
in the nutrient solution with indiscriminant use and get into the
plant cells - not something you want.

What To Do About Them

Try some less harsh solution
first. Our favorite all-purpose cure is to mix water, baking soda,
lemon juice and a very little dish detergent. Put this in a
spray bottle and mist the affected parts of the plant. If you mix
and use this recipe, make sure you cover all areas open to your
nutrient solution or the dish detergent will get into it causing
soap bubbles.
